Cycling in Coquitlam

Cycling is one mode of micromobility, which refers to the use of small, lightweight transportation options typically designed for short- and medium-distance travel, including bikes, scooters, and their electrified forms.

The City of Coquitlam is committed to sustainable modes of transportation including cycling and has over 100 km of signed and marked micromobility routes. 

Existing Micromobility Facilities

Explore Coquitlam's micromobility network to plan your route using:

  • Tri-Cities Cycling Map which provides useful information involving parking bikes at SkyTrain stations and bringing bikes onto transit.
  • Interactive regional bike map on the CoquitlamConnect app for a reference on the go.

Our streets accommodate micromobility, walking and driving and the City encourages all users to be mindful of all modes when sharing our streets.

For more information on various types of bike facilities, cycling signs/markings and safe cycling tips, please refer to the Coquitlam's Bike Route Information Guide (PDF). 

Public bike maintenance stations are available at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex and City Centre Aquatic Complex. These stations include air pumps and tools such as wrenches, screwdrivers and tire levers. If you encounter a problem with one of the maintenance stations, please call Facilities Customer Service at 604-927-6300.

Tri-Cities Cycling Map

The Tri-Cities Cycling Map (PDF) is your go-to resource for local bike routes and connections. It also provides useful information involving bike lockers at SkyTrain stations plus the newly installed bike maintenance stations. Pick up your free printed version of the map at Coquitlam City Hall, recreation facilities and Coquitlam Public Library branches.

Did you know you can bring your bicycles ontorapid transit vehicles? Even if you work a long way from home, you have the option of completing a portion of your trip by bicycle. More information is available in the Tri-Cities Cycling Map, or visit TransLink’s cycling page.

Micromobility Network improvements

The City is investing in transportation improvement projects to create a connected, reliable, and safe place to walk, bike, scoot or navigate with mobility aids. Improvements to the micromobility network will help support housing growth, manage congestion, meet sustainable goals, improve access to local businesses and provide safer transportation options especially for people who do not or cannot use vehicles as their main mode of transportation (for example students, seniors and people with visual and/or mobility impairments).

Recent micromobility network improvements include the Guildford Way Transportation Improvements from the Port Moody border to Pinetree Way which converted painted roadway bicycle lanes into physically-separated micromobility lanes that protect users from vehicles.

Transportation projects currently in the planning phase that propose micromobility network improvements include:

As part of our ongoing Transportation Plan update, the City is developing a future micromobility network to connect key destinations such as schools and parks, provide more convenient travel options, and link to regional routes.
